There&#8217;s plenty of things we need to improve, but it&#8217;s always nicer when you win.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On whether he believed Liverpool would get another chance after his first effort was ruled out, he said: &#8220;I thought I was going to get another one even before the throw-in. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I told Hugo [Ekitike] that this was going to be our goal and our situation. I don&#8217;t know if it was in that one or the next one, but I had another opportunity and I&#8217;m glad that it went in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He later added to BBC Sport: &#8220;We need to analyse [the game] during the week but the first half wasn&#8217;t good at all. Positioning, intensity, pressing &#8211; nothing was good. Well, maybe how we defended our box, because we blocked some shots. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But it was not good and it was not our standards. In the second half, I wouldn&#8217;t say it was good, but it was a little bit better. We had some chances and the most important thing is that we won the game.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#8220;Mixed feelings to be honest,&#8221; Mac Allister told Sky Sports post-match. &#8220;I love scoring, I love winning, so&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":440342,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[607,608,218,596,603,598,609,611,610,134,602,601,597,606,599,604,101,600,56,54,55,605],"class_list":["post-440341","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-alisson","tag-firmino","tag-football","tag-homepage","tag-klopp","tag-lfc","tag-lfc-news","tag-lfctv","tag-lfctv-go","tag-liverpool-fc","tag-liverpool-fc-match","tag-liverpool-fc-news","tag-liverpool-football-club","tag-mane","tag-reds","tag-salah","tag-sports","tag-the-reds","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-van-dijk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440341","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=440341"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440341\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/440342"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=440341"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=440341"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=440341"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
